アサクラサンショウクイ滞在中
アサクラサンショウクイを久しぶりに見てきました。人が集まるのを避けてゆっくり見られる場所で観察。 昨年のアサクラサンショウクイ と同様にホウオウボクにつく緑色のシャクトリムシを食っていました。
Ashy Minivet, first-winter. Busy moving around in search of insects, but when I watched quietly it stopped to preen. That's when you get your shot.
After resting for a few minutes, back to hunting for insects.
The Ashy Minivet was foraging in the canopy of a Royal Poinciana.
It may look plain at first glance, but that ashy colouring is beautiful.
Moving through the high branches.
It moved to an Akagi tree. It didn't seem to be eating the berries, so it was apparently still after insects.
Rosy Starling, juvenile. Moult is progressing. If it stays until spring we might get to see that stunning plumage…
White-shouldered Starling, adult male.
A Naumann's Thrush that thinks it's hiding.
